Introduction:

This is great heavy duty cable carrier for CNC Machines and any other motion related equipment. Don't let your cable get caught up in the machine.

Description:

A cable chain is a chain of links that carry your cables, tubes, hoses and conduit so you don't have the possibility of the these cables and other things catching on parts of the machine. The cable carrier runs along the axis and you will need a little more than half of the axis travel length, depending on how your motion and axis is designed.

To determine the length of cable carrier you will need for a single axis, measure the axis travel of your machine, divide this by 2 and add 12.5 inches. The radius of the curl is 2 inches. Purchase brackets separately. . If you find a lower price, let us know.

Cable Carrier Demonstration and Modification Instructions
We started carrying these new cable carriers that contain yellow hinge pins. The construction of the cable carrier is sturdy, but still has great flexibility. With this sturdiness comes the non-intuitive method of modifying the cable carrier. How is it possible to remove links, or put two cable carriers together? Also, how many wires, cables and tubes fit within the cable carriers.

Step 8: X-Axis Front and Back
This tutorial is dated, if you are considering a CNC for your personal use, we would highly recommend purchasing a kit that is very stable from our wide range of machines available.
We are going to cheat and skip to the x-axis for a minute, well... actually 8 minutes since that's about how long the video is. The CNC router has a table, right? The flat piece that you put the stuff on to cut, right? Well, that piece has this thing called the gantry riding over it. How does that gantry move? It needs to hug this surface and requires a piece underneath. In other words, the gantry cannot move unless this surface is lifted above the ground to accommodate the gantry support and the motor underneath.
